Many new and novel systems are emerging for narrowcasting of advertisements in media distribution systems such as, for example, digital television distribution systems. As a result of narrowcasting advertisements, higher levels of advertisement-based revenue can be obtained. However as narrowcast becomes more targeted and the number of users in the system grows, current centralized media content distribution systems do not efficiently scale for cost, size, and power. Thus, new architectures are needed to allow real-time late-binding of advertisements while minimizing loading on these centralized media content distribution systems.
